Kinexa and Dynagenix Chews from PLT Health: Joint Health Concepts Brands Should Copy
PLT Health Solutions was a title sponsor of the Future Nutra Innovation Summit, and the company brought more than ingredient literature to Houston. We came home with two chewable joint-health concept samples built around Kinexa and Dynagenix.

Your Body CAN Make Creatine... But Here's What It Costs
Over the past few years, we've repeatedly written some version of the following sentence: "creatine is metabolically expensive for your body to make."
Usually, we'll cite a 2011 paper literally titled "The Metabolic Burden of Creatine Synthesis",[1] explain that supplementation reduces some of that burden, and move on to whatever creatine research […] Continue Reading →
